Federal Judge Says ICE Violated 96 Court Orders in One Month and Has the Receipts - Decoding The Rhetoric



A federal judge just released an extraordinary appendix documenting ninety six court orders ICE violated in January alone. Seventy four separate cases. One month.

And this is not an activist judge. He was appointed by George W. Bush, clerked twice for Antonin Scalia, and sits squarely inside the conservative legal tradition.

After ICE ignored order after order, the judge threatened contempt. Within twenty four hours, ICE complied. Then the judge released the list.

This video breaks down what happened, why it matters, and why a conservative federal judge is now warning that ICE is not a law unto itself. - 01/29/2026.

Neither of these deceased Americans were immigrants, nor were they "dangerous" or breaking any laws. Why was ICE even concerned with them and when do their murder trials start??

Wars, laws trampled, citizens killed, children tortured, for these three reasons.

They're now way past the day they were supposed to be released. Do you think they're ever going to be released? They've got to be pretty bad for the felon-in-chief if he's willing to break every law on the books to keep them under wraps - including murders.

EVERYTHING he has done since Jan 2025 is to distract from the Epstein matter.

War, murder ... Nothing is too extreme.
That's how big this sex, blackmail and money-laundering empire was and is.

He is integral to it.

Only independent inquiry such as the Bank of America suit

and Senator Wyden's money trail chasing, will blow up the
Biggest sex, blackmail and money-laundering empire in recorded history to bits.

Many will go down. It STARTED with a prince and gets worse from there.
World leaders, business tycoons, legislators, and (ahem) judges

Pick any 5 (suspect) "men on the street"

This is the "open source" intelligence on Epstein's network. Not all were involved, but many, and many more, were.
And a graph of contacts. See the link above for how this was constructed.




The mafia analogy is perfect.
Kill to suppress evidence and witnesses.
People have spoken of girls murdered to keep them silent.
All the "based on fact" gangster movies tell it like it is.
The man is the friggin devil incarnate.

You don't play footsies with such a person.
It takes a Daniel Webster to beat the devil.
